Revisiting Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

The concept of the hierarchy of human needs, originally developed by Abraham Maslow, is highlighted as a framework for understanding personal development. The five levels of needs, ranging from physiological essentials to self-actualization, often present an oversimplified view of human growth. Instead, this approach emphasizes that self-actualization should be seen as an ongoing process rather than a final destination. This holistic perspective encourages individuals to integrate and fulfill various needs simultaneously to promote overall growth and well-being.
